Condition
Executed on cream laid paper, laid down on a sheet of thin restorers paper. Taped to the over mount along all four edges with a window on the reverse to show an inscription written by the widow and daughter of the artist. From inspection the edges of the sheet appear to be slightly irregular and there is a pinhole to the lower left corner of the sheet which could suggest there being pinholes to each of the four corners - because of the way it is mounted, it has not been possible to examine all edges and corners of the sheet. The work is in overall good condition.
